Delhi—India’s capital and cultural heart—is a city of contrasts, where centuries-old heritage coexists with modern elegance. To experience its full flavor, nothing compares to a Full Day Old and New Delhi Tour by Private Taj Mahal Tour Company. This expertly curated tour allows you to discover both sides of this fascinating metropolis in complete comfort, guided by a local expert who knows the city inside out.

Your day starts with a convenient pickup from your hotel, airport, or any pre-arranged location in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. From here, your adventure through history, culture, and chaos begins.

First, you’ll dive into Old Delhi, the historic soul of the city built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Your guide takes you through the narrow lanes and bustling bazaars that have been thriving for centuries. The highlight? Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, where you can climb the minaret for a panoramic view of the old city’s skyline.

Next, hop onto a rickshaw ride through the crowded yet colorful streets of Chandni Chowk. It’s an experience like no other—vibrant, noisy, and full of life. You’ll pass spice markets, textile stalls, sweet shops, and ancient havelis (mansions), getting a real feel of Delhi’s heartbeat.

From there, you’ll visit the Red Fort (Lal Qila), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as the main residence of Mughal emperors. Its imposing walls and majestic gates tell tales of royal splendor, battles, and British colonial history.

The Old Delhi part of your tour also includes a visit to Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by manicured gardens, it offers a quiet moment of reflection in contrast to the lively streets outside.

After a morning full of exploration, you’ll stop for a hearty Indian lunch at a top-rated local restaurant. The Private Taj Mahal Tour Company ensures hygienic, high-quality dining with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Now it's time to explore the grand avenues of New Delhi, built by the British in the 20th century. First stop: India Gate, a towering war memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers who died in World War I. You’ll also drive past the President’s House (Rashtrapati Bhavan) and the Parliament House, marveling at the colonial-era architecture and wide, tree-lined boulevards.

A visit to the Qutub Minar, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must. This 73-meter-high victory tower built in the 12th century is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Your guide will explain its fascinating history and point out the iron pillar in its courtyard that has baffled scientists for centuries due to its rust-resistant composition.

The tour continues with the Lotus Temple, a modern architectural marvel shaped like a blooming lotus flower. Open to people of all faiths, this Bahá’í House of Worship is a peaceful retreat where you can sit in silence and enjoy the tranquil ambiance.

Another highlight of the New Delhi circuit is the Humayun’s Tomb, often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal. With its Persian-influenced design and beautiful gardens, it’s a photographer’s delight and a treasure of Mughal architecture.

Throughout the tour, your guide provides insightful commentary, shares little-known facts, and makes sure you stay comfortable and informed. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, architecture, or photography, this tour adapts to your interests and pace.

By the end of the day, you’ll have experienced the chaotic charm of Old Delhi and the dignified elegance of New Delhi—all without the stress of planning or navigating. Your driver will drop you back at your hotel, satisfied and full of unforgettable memories.
